Foilchemy

Foilchemy aims to support the decarbonization of maritime transport by developing new hydrofoil technology and engineering services to support its implementation. Above take-off speed, hydrofoils lift the hulls of vessels above the water surface, considerably reducing drag. A drag reduction means a lower thrust requirement and lower emissions. It also enables the use of clean propulsion for a wider range of vessels. However, two are the challenges for the expansion of hydrofoils, safer sailing in rough sea conditions and lower life cycle cost. Foilchemy has developed a new hydrofoil technology and design tools to improve safety, efficiency, and life cycle costs. Foilchemy may strongly reduce the R&D costs that companies are assuming to implement foils. We’ve packaged into engineering services, the know-how acquired during the development of an autopiloted sailing hydrofoil boat from scratch. We offer our clients to become part of their engineering teams for a given time, to transfer our design know-how, design tools and technology.
